German soccer fans help team by showing them where the goal is

The fans of German soccer club Magdeburg were getting frustrated that their team hadn’t scored a goal in five games. So they came up with this incredibly sarcastic aid for the squad: bright neon arrows.

As you’ll see in the hilarious video below, the handful of Magdeburg fans in attendance gave their beleaguered side a helping hand by pointing fluorescent arrows at the goal. If there was any player confusion, that was quickly cleared up by a fan holding a sign that said, “We’ll show you where the goal is!”

The ploy worked — Magdeburg scored in the 79th minute … but it lost the match 2-1.

The team may be German, but the sentiment is definitely universal in the international language of fan frustration.
